Boondocking really exists?

I have no idea what to do about this. The abusive boondockers are well aware that they are wrongdoers, they do not care, and they would not take kindly to a stern lecture delivered by an elderly well-meaning person (i.e., me). So that is why I favor a sticker -- the bad guys will not get stickers and might just be ticketed. Maybe. And maybe a ticket would be a trivial deterrent, in which case we have accomplished nothing.

Very well stated and here is my opinion on what could be done to help. One, provide more persons set to enforce the rules already in place. There are laws in force, but few are in place to make the arrests and write the summons.

But that should not be ending there. The weakening of the court system and providing lenient enforcement and penalties have long lasting impact. An example. How many of us know of a small town that has strict traffic enforcement, stop signs, speeding and the courts don't give out deferred sentences. Then you know a town that the officers are just giving warnings and if they do, when you go in to court you get it plead down to a lesser charge and a small fine.

It comes down to an attitude. If you are prone to push the limits you are probably the one that draws the attention from authority. If you live in a society and work within the rules made for everyone, chances are you are not prone to draw attention to yourself.

I agree, speaking up and trying to tell someone that they should not be doing something will often result in retaliation, such as attacks towards you and your personal property. Just be a good witness and gather the evidence to provide at a later time to the proper authority. Many Govt agencies now have anonymous reporting programs for information, such as descriptions, plate numbers and digital photographs.
